So I'm going through a bit of a rough patch in my life right now, and I think its probably responsible for my sleeping troubles atm. Been having issues for a couple of months now, at first I couldn't sleep much at all, Id lie awake hours stairing at the ceiling thinking about shit, and generally had some mild insomnia happening.
Now I cant stop sleeping, constantly exhausted, even worse than when I wasn't sleeping much, Im falling asleep in school sometimes, and have started going to bed earlier, but im still oversleeping in the mornings.
Ive been trying to keep my normal sleep pattern through all this, which is generally bed about 12-2am, during the week get up 7, weekends 10-12,
I know thats not as much sleep as I should get, but its been like that for years, I think I don't need as much sleep as most other people- if i ever go earlier I always feel more tired the next day.
I just want to know if my recent sleep pattern troubles seem more psychological, or could they be pointing to a more physiological reason?
or anyone just got any advice on falling asleep when you cant stop thinking about stuff, or ways to stay awake when you know your gonna end up falling asleep to early and you know its gonna screw up your sleep pattern for the next few days?
cheers
